Review Centre: 1920s Era Musicians & Bands

"What a band! Laura has the most incredible voice and the band rocked our Peaky Blinders dinner dance just brilliantly. Everyone is talking about it still and I’m desperately trying to think of another event to book Trip For Biscuits! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough."

"Parish's voice was warm and expressive throughout, and Williams proved to be the ideal accompanist with his light, melodic touch and studied rhythmic flow. John Barham played strong, firm bass lines, and the three sounds - piano, voice and bass - blended together successfully."

"Sofia es una cantante ucraniana que nos ha literalmente encantado. La verdad que tuvimos este contacto de otra amiga que se casó antes de nosotros y no podíamos imaginar que sería tan precioso todo. El cocktail fue todo según los planes y todos se felicitaron por la música tan bonita. El además ella y el pianista son una pareja muy unida y se vee que lo disfrutan. RECOMENDADOS 100%"

"If available, book today! Simon and the other members of the Trio were phenomenal! I cannot sing my praises enough. Between working with us for a first song and father/daughter and groom/mother dance. The music was great, everyone praised them. Like the title says, if they’re available for your gig than book them immediately, you will regret it if not!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring this group for a corporate event, and from the moment they took the stage, they created a very elegant and refined atmosphere providing the perfect background music for our dinner. Their energy was incisive but never aggressive, allowing all the guests to enjoy the conversation. Each band member was not only talented but also very kind and flexible. Their professionalism throughout the planning process and during the event was top-notch. I highly recommend them for any event."

"Jen! Wow! What a singer! Jen sang throughout various points at our wedding and was amazing. Her voice added a real vintage and classy feel to the day. All our guests commented on how brilliant she was. Sean was also our DJ, and what a great DJ he is! The dance floor was packed all night and he really listened to the type of music we wanted. I could not recommend SNJ entertainment more! They were organised, professional and superb at providing entertainment throughout the entire day"

"Beautiful atmospheric location and a very relaxed performance by the quartet! It was as if you could join them at their home for an evening full of fun anecdotes, fun amongst each other and fun making music. The Christmas songs were refreshing in the gipsy jazz style, nicely interspersed with their regular set! It was impossible to stay seated..."

"I booked Ruby to sing at the start of my daughters 18th birthday party in August 2015. She did the opening couple of hours before the DJ started. I was so pleased with my choice. She was exactly what was needed, excellent voice, good choice of songs. Nice jazzy, chilled vibe at the beginning and gradually getting everyone into the party mood before handing over to the DJ. Ruby went down well with all ages at the party, was friendly and approachable and flexible with arrangements. Also, very good value for money. I will definitely book her again for my next event!"

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"

"We had the pleasure of Melissa singing at our vintage themed Wedding in February. What can I say - Melissa is so talented and a beautiful singer. She made our drinks reception absolutely perfect and all our guests where complimenting how fantastic she was. Melissa was so accommodating with her set list and even sang a personal request for me and Tom (husband). Having Melissa sing at our wedding made our day the extra special and I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much and we would love to see you sing again in the future."
